Islam versus Western Civilization on Slavery

Oh Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives
to whom thou hast paid their dowries; and those
slaves whom thy right hand possess out of the
prisoners whom Allah has assigned to thee.
Quran 33:50

So enormous, so dreadful, so irredeemable did the
(slave) trade’s wickedness appear that my own
mind was completely made up for abolition.
William Wilberforce

All married women are forbidden unto thee save
those captives whom thy right hand possess.
This is a decree of Allah for thee.
Quran 4:24

You may choose to look the other way, but you
can never say again that you did not know.
William Wilberforce

Slavery is part of Islam. Slavery is part of jihad,
and jihad will remain as long as there is Islam.
Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan
Saudi religious leader

This is a no-go brainer.

If the accusers can NOT offer any reliable proof (as is the case with Roy Moore’s accuser) then morally they should be ignored.

Just because someone accuses you, it does not automatically make it an honest accusation.

By continuing this conversation, in this manner, we are giving these false accusations validity.

Wilberforce was a great man and his anti-slavery campaign was entirely inspired by his Christian and conservative convictions !

Never let the Marxists forget it!

Writer should get to the real point of William Wilberforce. He was a sinner and reveller who later found grace and forgiveness:

“Wilberforce was not always a Christian. Indeed, he was born into the privileged class, and that culture, much like today’s Hollywood, loved gambling, fancy clothes, fast horses, drinking and gluttony. Furthermore, he had denounced the deity of Christ after attending an apostate church much like today’s liberal ones. But in a secular sense, he was succeeding very nicely, entering parliament at 21, and was a good friend of William Pitt the Younger (1759–1806), who would become the UK’s youngest ever Prime Minister at 24.”

I’m sure there would have been trash papers, complainants and all manner of accusations against him given our modern hysteria.

So the question is will the good people of Alabama forgive him EVEN IF any of these phony accusations are true? I would think a resounding yes and then vote for him.

If you get a chance, watch the movie “Amazing Grace”. Used to live in the area he hailed from.

While Judge Moore is pro-life and against same sex marriage, and a Vietnam veteran...

as Gov of Mass, TWO Time draft dodger Willard signed a healthcare bill which included $50 abortions and pushed for homosexual leaders of the Boy Scouts ...

While Judge Moore is a conservative, Willard prides himself as a “moderate progressive”

The last time Willard ran for the Senate in 1994 he ran to the left of Teddy Kennedy...even teddy was amazed...

In 2002 he ran for Gov of MASS pushing for abortions for underage girls...with permission from judges if their parents objected...

During a debate for the GOP primary, late 2007 he told the story of his aunt dying during an illegal abortion and that was the reason he was for legal abortion, and he related how his own mother Lenore Romney had run for the US Senate in for Michigan on an abortions-for-all platform and how proud he had been of her for doing so...this was 1970, THREE YEARS before Row V Wade...

Willard is a sick murderous ghoul...a life long abortion pusher...and a life long liberal...

Willard never met a liberal issue that he didn’t embrace and adopt as his own philosophy warts and all...

Plus the habit of liberals to falsely accuse innocent conservatives...

Further, before Paul of the New Testament was a Christian, he was the Saul who killed Christians. Yet, God found a way to change his heart and use him for His own purpose.

This is an easy one for me.For reasons that would take me a while to fully explain I'm strongly inclined to believe that the recent accusations against him are untrue.People,including women,*do* make false accusations.I give you Tawana Brawley as one good example.

Therefore supporting him against his Marxist opponent is a no brainer.

But even if they were true I'd see Moore as the lesser of two evils and still support him.

Unless I’m missing something, a very disturbing premise of your piece is a presumption that Roy Moore is guilty of molesting children.

Another disturbing thing is that you just signed up to Free Republic.

Really good movie about Wilberforce (of course, anything with Albert Finney is by definition worth watching). If he’d been an American it’s a certainty he’d have been a Republican (Whig, actually, but that’s just a pesky detail).

I’d agree with that with on caveat: Wilbeforce repented and sought forgiveness. Moore has done neither, at least publicly. That may be because the accusations are not true, but it is a difference.

Satan is the accuser of the brethren, but that doesn’t mean I have to believe him.

Wrong on both counts. Disturbing.

The article says “Christians who are unsure if they can vote for Roy Moore,” seems to imply if you believe the allegations, because without the allegations they would OBVIOUSLY be voting for him.

And I’ve been a Freeper a long time, dude. I just hibernate at times.

"... a practical willingness to compromise and take very small steps at times."

Unlike Wilberforce, Moore does not strike me as a man who is willing to compromise on his principles. Certainly not one as strongly held as his position on abortion.

This was my first thought as well. The author speaks as if he accepts the claims of these convenient accusers.

I just saw Gay State Conservative summarize better. The accusers are probably not truthful, but even if they are, as the lesser of two evils, Moore is still the only choice.
